Molting Time Guides Hen Culling For Fall Profit
Farmers with poultry flocks should cull non producing hens during the molting period. Heavier hens should not exceed two years. lighter types may be kept one more year. Early molters shed slowly, late molters quickly, and pale shanks or beaks signal loafers in yellow skinned breeds.

Observations indicate hens with fine skin and bone are good producers while those with coarse skin and bone tend to be poor producers. High laying hens show thin straight flexible pin bone ends, whereas unproductive hens have thick curved stiff ends. Strong body capacity and wide pinebone spacing also support better production.
